Is my back getting enough work ?My shoulders are a bit to forward so I need to do more back I think, should I add something to help me correcting my body position or just do the program like it is ?I know they always say dont mess with the program...

This is the basic backbone of a novice program, and there are two popular variations that get in more back work. In both cases there are no chin-ups. Instead you have either:

1) Power cleans (Starting Strength variation). Recommended by Rippetoe on the assumption that he is training athletes for whom strength training is a means, not an end.

or

2) Pendlay Rows (Stronglifts variation). Recommended by Mehdi on the assumption that he is training future powerlifters or body builders.

So pick which you are, an athlete or a future powerlifter, and do the appropriate exercise. if you're not sure, you really can't go wrong, pick the one you want to do. You can always change your mind later and nobody will charge you a fee or anything

As for all of the other stuff, like rear delt moves, dumbbell variations and so forth, all of that can wait until you've completed the novice program, anywhere from 3-9 months.
